- AlexaVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/15/26Heavenly smell!
First time planting this, had great germination! I was worried about the plant getting what it needed so it moved around my garden a few times before I found a good spot but tolerated transplant well. It did not start budding and blooming til the end of summer so keep that in mind, it responds to decrease hours of light as seasons change. Was hoping to lure in a luna moth but haven't seen any. Highly recommend.

- Gael P.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/10/26No issues and its an amazing plant!
I got these moonflower seeds originally because I knew that they would be a great plant to have and care for! After putting them off for months i finally planted them in April. These plants grew FAST and produced a lot of foliage! At first, i thought it wouldn’t bloom because it took its SWEET time producing buds. But eventually, these amazing 6inch blooms came out!
